Heathen and Honeysuckle
by Sarah A. Bailey
"Operation 'Get Honeysuckle The Hell Out of Dodge."
"Show me every smile, and I'll do whatever you want, yeah?"
"Opening up to her is as simple as breathing."
"You don't need a piece of my soul, honeysuckle. You already own the whole g*ddamn thing."
"A honeysuckle and her heathen."
"It doesn't feel so bad now that I have you, honeysuckle." — "Nothing feels quite as bad when I'm with you, heathen."
TROPES:
• second chance romance
• dual pov
• small town beach romance
• forbidden first love
• found family
• runaway bride x pro surfer
• "what letters?"
• summer romance
I'm honestly speechless. I have too many favorite quotes to list. This is my first read of Sarah A. Bailey's and it did not disappoint! This is the type of book I wish I could re-read for the first time. I loved EVERYTHING in this book! This book was such a sweet & spicy, second chance, forbidden first love romance book. I could not put the book down, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Where's my Leo Graham?! I loved how from the moment they first met, they had such a calming effect on each other, and I loved how over-protective (and possessive) he was over Darby and how he made her feel safe and reassured. I loved the found family between Leo and Darby and their friend group and with Darby's sister, Dahlia and Lou and their grandmother. I really enjoyed the Then and Now chapters, the letters, and the nicknames. This was like watching a (top tier) hallmark movie. I love how he still wore her gold purity ring on a necklace after all those years from their first date as a good luck charm. I thought it was so cute how he remembered all the little things about her. I loved how patient he was back then and in the present. I loved the mentions of places in Utah because I live in St. George. I wish I could reach through my kindle screen and slap Darby's dad! and fun fact, my birth month flower is honeysuckles (and roses) for June!
Thank you, Sarah A. Bailey for the ARC
